I think its better to say 'you have the wrong version of ant, its not gonna work' than to give a strange permgen/oom/wrong packaging/miscompile/... of course if the bugs only affect some special thing (particularly an undocumented task like a hudson one), then maybe we don't need to go that far. -- lucidimagination.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
